BAYERN MUNICH continued their 100 per cent start to the Bundesliga season under Carlo Ancelotti, but it was once again another stumble to all three points for the Bavarian champions.

In Hamburg on Saturday the Munich side spent much of the afternoon chasing shadows in red shorts as the home side played a near-perfect game in an attempt to save coach Bruno Labbadia from almost certain dismissal.

Alas, as always seems to be the case in the Bundesliga, you can play as well as possible but Bayern will always find a way.

On this occasion it was the quick feet of Franck Ribery which ultimately skipped past Gotoku Sakai with two minutes left on the clock to drill a pass across the goalmouth for Joshua Kimmich to tap it in.

Bayern picked up all three points and the next day Labaddia was sacked by the club, but it was once again another weekend of Bayern struggling to breakdown an average team.

As we also saw against Schalke and Ingolstadt: Ancelotti’s team are still some way from convincing performances.

One team that did look back to their best was Borussia Dortmund who made short work of Freiburg in a 3-1 win on Friday night at the Westfalenstadion.

The solitary goal from the away side means Dortmund have kept just one clean sheet in their opening five league games, but impressive performances from attacking talents Ousmane Dembele, Emre Mor and Christian Pulisic did a lot to drown out worries about the defence.

Although the finish may have took a fortuitous clip off the on-rushing defender, Burke’s performance now means that he has a goal and an assist in just 112 minutes of Bundesliga football so far this season.

Despite an opening goal from Maxim Choupo-Moting in the fourth minute, a double from Andrej Kramaric and Lukas Rupp ensure all three points for the home side and a fifth, straight defeat for the Royal Blues.

Time is quickly running out for the coach tasked with taking Schalke to the summit of German football.

And finally, perhaps the most joyous moment of the weekend came at full time at the Weserstadion when care-taker Werder Bremen coach Alexander Nouri embraced the final whistle with a dance of pure jubilation on the pitch.

A last-minute header from Theodor Gebre Selassie ensured a 2-1 win mover Wolfsburg and the first three points of the season for the troubled club.

“Football is special because of moments like these,” muttered Nouri as fans celebrated outside the stadium as though they’d just won the title. “I’m very grateful.”
